Speaker 1 (00:00):
So are you telling me that Elon Musk is the
most disliked public figure in America according to a poll.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'm not telling you that. That's with a Gallup poll conducted.
They said that those were their finding. Sixty one percent
of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Elon Musk.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Okay, so Gallup did a poll.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
They didn't ask, like, you, do you dislike Elon Musk
more than any of their public figure in America? But
by score the most amount of negative negatives, he would
win in that.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Correct in that category, yeah, okay, only thirty three percent
view him positively?

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Is six percent had no opinion? How can you have
no opinion?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well, all right, so how does Elon Musk really? I mean,
if we look at this, and our audience will look
at this because they're into the news. They follow what's
going on with politics, with their government in society, so
of course you're going to know who he is. But
how does Elon Musk directly? Now, obviously the government contracts
the things he's doing, the technologlogy, it will potentially eventually

(01:02):
impact you in some shape, form or fashion, But in
terms of your day to day existence, what does Elon
Musk really do that you would say that, you would,
You would need a reason if you don't follow the
news to think about him on it, right, You're.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Right, probably not. I mean, what does Musk do for you?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, not much now, especially since he's no longer with
the Department of Government Efficiency. Right when he was working
with DOGE that short lived involvement in the Trump administration,
you could say, hey, you know what, he's saving me
money on some level.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Right, But again, then you got to follow the news,
and you got to follow government, you got to follow politics.
And you know, you always get those polls about people
can't identify their you know, governors or senators or whatever.
And a lot of people, even people who know who
he is, he's just some rich, eccentric guy who builds.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Cars and rockets, right.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
I just I do find it interesting that he is
He had the highest negativity score because I just don't like,
what has he really done that you would.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Say, oh, that's part of it, too, is And.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I blame this on the public education system. All the
education system is a collective. People have no idea how
society actually works. Like everybody will go to the grocery
store and go, this is abhorrent how much food costs.
But they have no idea why food costs that much. Well,
the answer one of multiple answers, but a major player
in it is the government has printed so much money

(02:29):
because of bad government that dollars are worthless. Well, the
obvious answer to that would be get rid of the
bad government, which would make things potentially costless if you're
not printing as much money, which should make people happy.
But they're not capable because they haven't been trained on
how to do it. They're not capable of thinking that through.
So they see, well, Elon Musk took some nice guy's job,

(02:50):
or Elon Musk, you know, denied some person their food
stamps or you know whatever, he's a horrible human.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, you got to think Elon mus is getting hit
from both sides, right because obviously he had that very
public falling out with Donald Trump after he accused Trump
of being named in the Epstein files. And then you
have the Democrats who were very upset with him. In fact,
he had a negative eighty six net favorability rating just

(03:20):
among Democrats.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
So you put the dow together, nobody likes the guy.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Okay, here I get this all the time though, And
this is how I just let me give you a
This is perfect timing. You don't even know about this
a real world example. Yeah, I get this all the
time from people who are mad at me for telling
you how it's gonna work or it's gonna happen, right,
And just because you don't like the result, it ain't
my fault.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm not a decision maker.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Last hour, we talked about that law that the state
of Indiana passed that made it twenty five feet. You
couldn't if the cops wanted to enforce up to twenty
five feet from them doing their job, they could keep
you from that.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
And that was the law.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And I said, look, the moment that law has passed,
we said in these airwaves, that is going to fail
in court for a variety of reasons. And now for
one of them, the most prominent of the Fourteenth Amendment Court.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Of Appeals struck it down. Struck it down, can't do that.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
And I said it was a poorly written law.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I knew it was written, just like when they fake
came after Holcom on the emergency power stuff and they
wrote a law that Abdulla and I said a time
that is going to fail. That is a law that
is designed to fail. It will fail, and it did
fail in court. We said the same thing about this.
It's a poorly written law. It's deliberately vague. It was
done that way for political reasons so they could rah

(04:36):
rah with the police rather than write a good law that.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Could pass, and it failed. Don't blame me for that.
I was right.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Why are you mad at me? Here's the email I
get from Debbie. By the way, here's how Debbie signs
her what do they call that or our signature line whatever?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
That is?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, My goal is to exceed your expectations. So that's
on her signature and this is the email she sent me.
Can't believe you're supporting the law being shut down about
distancing from police that should have gone through.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
There's no reason these street.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Idiots need to have their cameras out and be in
back of the police while they're trying to help people.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's endangerment.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
They have no business being around an active police scene. Michael,
is to exceed your expectations, Debbie, and so I just
I will read you my response to her, because I
deal with this all the time. Where you're angry at
me for telling you how it's going to go down.
They wrote a bad law, But you're mad at me.
I said, twenty five feet isn't an active police scene,

(05:40):
and clearly the court disagreed as we said they would.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
You shouldn't be.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Mad at me for the lawmakers writing a law that
many people believe was poorly written and would get overturned.
But yeah, it's sort of like the same thing with musk.
You're mad about the price of food. They're doing it.
He's trying to fix it, telling you what's going and
now you hate him because hair lost his job in
the process.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, so Tesla saw a sixteen percent drop in their
net income, twelve percent revenue decline, and a lot of
people are saying that it's caused a broader decline in
public perception of not only him, but also electric vehicles.
